7/17    Summer camp sure is a great place for middle aged guys to flirt
        with teen girls by the pool.
        \_ Are free condoms available like in the Olympic Village?
        \_ Why is a middle-aged guy at a summer camp?
           \_ "Because summer camp sure is a great place for ......"  Maybe you
              meant to ask "What excuse does a middle-aged guy have to be at a
              summer camp?"
              \_ Both. FLirting with teen girls lands you in jail.
                 \_ Flirting? Nah, I didn't say shtupping.
                 \_ Flirting? Nah, I didn't say shtupping. I did get some

           \_ Watch American Beauty and you'll understand why. When you
              approach your mid 40s/50s, you'll understand why.
              \_ Yeah, no. If you're in your mid-40s and you're flirting
                 with teen girls, you're a pathetic loser as well as a
                 creepy man-child. -- mid-40s alum
                 \_ Even 19 year olds? Ah, c'mon don't be such a stick in the
                    mud. The only loser here is the balding fat guy that
                    can't get any hotties to talk to him any more. Does it
                    help things any that the "girl" I thought I was talking
                    to turns out to be a 21 yo single mom? -OP
                    \_ Not as much as an eye exam is going to help you.
                       \_ You are nuts if you think you can tell the
                          difference between a 19 yo and a 21 yo by looks
                          alone.
                          \_ Yeah, here's the thing: I think you're a
                             creep because you said you were flirting
                             "with teen girls by the pool" at a Summer Camp.
                             Summer camps are for kids; teenage girls are
                             kids; therefore, you were flirting with kids.
                             Now, if you'd just said that you, middle-aged,
                             were just talking to some people at a
                             pool, and one of them happened to be a 21
                             yo single mom who was into you, I'd've
                             just thought you were telling tales.
                             \_ The world is more complex than your model of it.
                                Here is a question for you: what if I told you
                                that one of the dads at the camp was a 42 year
                                old widower and he hit it off with one of the
                                old widower and he flirted with one of the
                                older teens at the pool. They hit it off and
                                started dating and he married her soon thereafter
                                started dating and he married her soon after
                                when she turned 18. I ask because this exact
                                scenario (minus summercamp) is how my great-
                                grandmother great-grandfather met. I think the
                                only reason it is not more common today is that
                                far fewer women die in childbirth, making young
                                widowers quite rare. Throughout most of human

                                as second wife was common. Are you saying that
                                of those guys are perverts? Or is human biology
                                really so different in the modern era? Or perhaps
                                we have a more enlightend view of male-femail
                                relationships? I am really willing to believe
                                the latter.
